Volunteers teach reading, math or English as a second language to adult education students at McHenry County College or at local libraries.

A literacy volunteer tutor does not have to speak a second language. The free basic training provides the information and skills needed to work with literacy students. Flexible work schedules are provided to meet people’s busy calendars, including those who are retired or working full time.

This project was made possible in part by a grant awarded by the Illinois State Library, a Division of the Office of Secretary of State, using state funds designated for literacy.
